On Tuesday, I became the proud half owner of Pittsburgh Pirate tickets– I feel like a proud parent or something the way I said that. 81 Pirate games; yikes! Although, we will be selling (or trying to) sell half of them. If you follow baseball, you know the Pirates aren’t that great, which is probably why a season ticket =$4.98/game. Extremely cheap entertainment. At the recommendations of everyone who commented about TOMs, I will definitely be investing in a pair before the start of the season! Definitely black to go with the apparent black and gold that I will be living in this spring and summer. Thanks, you guys are awesome!
This week my newest addiction (aside from Pinterest and compulsive blog reading) has become Etsy.com, I could seriously spend hours on there. They have amazing stuff…nothing I so much need right now, but a whole lot of stuff I want!
Have you shopped on Etsy.com?
Today’s Tryin’ It Out Thursday takes us back to the basics. A little review doesn’t hurt, plus everyone could use a little refresher course from time-to-time on form.
Check out this article from FitSugar.com: 5 Beginner Strength Training Moves to Master.
This article covers:
- the squat
- the lunge
- the plank
- the sit-up
- the push-up
It was a nice little review and it helped me workout some kinks in some form, which guess what? Working out some kinks made the plank made me dislike this exercise a little less.

What is your favorite way to strength train?
